Kinda crashed midday productivity wise, but back to editing. I think it was this brownie sundae and a walk afterward. 😄
On a side note, one of the cosplayers in her show is someone in my local con scene. I don't know her well, but have known her for probably 10+ years and take photos of her at conventions. She mentioned in an Instagram story getting asked a ton about it and gave kind words toward Emiru, etc. ❤️✨👍

Sad and gross situation 🤮🤬 A crazy amount of negligence by Twitch. I hope Emiru takes legal action for a settlement. 🥊🥊Though, I'd be concerned Twitch/Amazon will try to damage her reach on the platform and/or advertising deals given how their leadership has acted.

Looking over the photos from the product photoshoot. I thought the foam as a backdrop would be good. I think that worked out well. Forgot that I had those NASA coloring sheets I did on stream. I should do more of that in the future. 🖍️🖌️✨
Davie getting copyright striked for his arrangement and playing of moonlight sonata. Clearly YouTube gives (supposed) rights holders too much power. youtu.be/Q5L0fycpQZI?...

The usual effort these days. 😄
I stop by Fred's streams occasionally when I see him live which probably isn't too often. I don't follow the Mega Tokyo comic, but my anime club friends were into it. Saw him at Anime Central in 2002 or 2003 with them. Very cool to chat a bit! #Twitch His stream >> www.twitch.tv/fredrin

I'm not even sure what I'm getting at here. 😄 Maybe still be focused on the photography side, but do more basic stuff that can apply to cosplayers taking their own photos more (solo or cosplayers together with no photog) so than trying to speak to photographers or potential ones through my videos.
Even so the bigger audience in cosplay just wants to see pretty cinema style footage of cosplayers. I get that and it makes sense. CMVs were one thing I removed from my channel back when I split stuff up. Adding that back in is probably a bad idea with how YT has historically worked.
With the anime My Dress-up Darling, it pointed out tips and such for cosplay photography in a fun and informational way. I feel like my stuff does go that direction, but my packaging is bad and the POV footage isn't ideal.
Case in point is my convention/cosplay photography playlist I still have on the main channel and still make those POV photography style videos for. All of that stuff only has ~22k views. So maybe I've made and marketed this stuff to myself but the audience for that isn't there.
I should have been creating more for cosplayers and newbies rather than getting into the technical of photography, gear, and stuff. That group kinda exists to some degree, but probably small and wouldn't likely care much about my videos. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A long time ago now I separated a lot of the cosplay and convention stuff from my main YouTube channel. Kind of like taking the flavor out of a drink, maybe it wasn't for the best for creating a "community" but overall my imaginary audience probably don't exist much.
Overall it could be a fun long term project. Though, I wouldn't expect much viewership so it's a tough ask time expense wise.
In general I'd want to be careful with any footage I have of two group cosplay photo meetups I used to attend out of politeness to the hosts of those events. Though, there were a few public place events I've attended that could work. One group is active I could join in more often with too.
Right now it would be mostly talk/photos and GoPro footage of conventions. Unless I got back into on-location photoshoots. I'd have to find people willing to be in videos. Sometimes cosplayers are a bit closed off to anything outside of showing the final result. IMO, BTS is a lot more interesting.
I just got access to this course feature on YouTube for my PB channel. Not sure what it does & how it works. Maybe a cosplay/convention photography course? I've got an old self published book from ages ago plus notes on revising it.

The live stream VOD on YouTube. Looking at my internet speed I could probably do 1080p with 2 or 3 platforms now without issue. The upload is around 40 Mbps which is 5 mega-bytes/second. youtube.com/live/3KAEo70...

The about-face around 40 minutes in the documentary is wild. Pretty sad but another one of those situations where they did it to themselves.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k2X... A long time viewer suggested this documentary. ~7 minutes in and "Mr. Polaroid" sounds intense! 😄 His GF and him would sneak into a physics lab to do glare reducing experiments, calling it "a transient violent need to create". I'm not that extreme, but I get it.
